A Murder of Crows is the prologue novella to the Adventures of the X Pirates series and a completely new and unique experience in the world of pirate lore. Readers, reviewers, authors, and bloggers have made this tale an Amazon best seller in both the fantasy and action adventure categories.

This is the possibly true life story of the deadliest pirate and criminal mastermind to ever sail the high seas. This first installment tells the origin story of his spiral into madness, the indoctrination of his cutthroat crew, the creation of the eerie ship they sail, and the night of violence and murder that bore them all.

A Murder of Crows introduces you to an all animal world full of epic pirate fantasy, where nothing is what it seems, and everything is suspect. A world where both heroes and villains have a tortured past and every twist and turn tests their resolve. This is a dark fantasy full of treachery, deceit, and terror and your first port of call in the Adventures of the X Pirates.

It’s hard to tell you much about this story without spoiling the unique ambiance that Medina creates with his particular style of writing, so forgive me for being vague. Part fantasy, part fairytale, it’s a delightfully wicked little tale about what happens when absolute evil takes over. The literary style Medina uses is reminiscent of the old-style oral storytelling that you’ll want to slow down and savor, yet the story itself moves at an easy, steady pace. I read it over the space of a couple lunch hours and was loathe to put it down when I had to go back to work.
